"I have a hot temper. If you don't open the door, I'm afraid this door will turn into a pile of powder! You don't want to make me lose my temper, do you?" Emperor Yuxuan's face gradually became gloomy, his voice became louder, and dissatisfaction in his heart began to emerge.

The good concubine had no choice but to block the door with her hands and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, please wait a minute, let me take a bath and change my clothes!" There was a bit of cunning on her face, but a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

At this moment, a woman who looked exactly like Hao Fei appeared from behind the screen. Hao Fei quickly asked her to block the door, and she carefully pushed open the window, climbed out quietly, and then closed the window silently.

When the emperor heard about bathing and changing clothes, his face suddenly showed excitement and his eyes lit up. "Open the door, open the door!" The emperor could no longer be impatient and pushed the door with both hands, with such force that it seemed to push the door down.

The person inside seemed to be afraid that he would shake the door loose, so he hurriedly opened it.

The emperor saw that the person in front of him had just been dressed in black, but now she was wearing a light yellow dress. The delicate color made her look even more beautiful and charming.

The emperor's eyes widened, "It's washed! So fast! Why didn't you wait for me?" As he said that, he rushed forward and hugged her.

The good concubine was reluctant but willing, her face flushed, and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you are so annoying. I have come back from the north all the way and am exhausted, but you won't even let me take a bath!" She twisted her body slightly, but there was a hint of temptation in her eyes.

The emperor sniffed and said, "You must not have scrubbed your body. I'll help you do it!" After saying that, he showed a sly smile, picked up his concubine and walked behind the screen.

At this time, the Feiluan Palace was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. The incense burner was emitting wisps of green smoke, and the light gauze curtains were fluttering in the wind. The laughter of the concubine and the teasing of the emperor were intertwined, filling the entire palace with a charming atmosphere.

The concubine who had climbed out of the window was hiding in a corner of the palace, carefully observing the movements inside. She had a smug smile on her face, and was secretly thinking about her own plan.

The sun shines through the window onto the ground, creating patches of mottled light and shadow. The furnishings in the room are exquisite and luxurious, and gold, silver and jade radiate a dazzling light. However, behind this seemingly beautiful scene, there are countless schemes and calculations hidden.

Concubine Wang brought a group of concubines to Feiluan Palace in a hurry. They all had exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, but they could not hide the anxiety and uneasiness on their faces.

"Good sister!"

"Good sister!"

The emperor was enjoying himself in the bathtub with his "good concubine". When he heard the shouting outside, his face darkened and he became unhappy. He frowned, his eyes widened, and he roared, "Get out!" The sound echoed in the palace like thunder.

Concubine Wang and her group were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground, their faces pale and their bodies trembling. "Your Majesty, I didn't know you were here. Please forgive me!" Concubine Wang's voice was trembling, and she lowered her head deeply, not daring to look up at the emperor.

"Get out of here!" The emperor was furious. Veins popped out on his face and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Concubine Wang and her group were so scared that they ran away crawling, their skirts dragging on the ground, looking extremely miserable.

Haogu was hiding in a remote place, and was confused when she saw this. She frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion, and thought to herself: Why would the emperor reject the ten beauties I arranged? There must be something fishy about this, I have to find out.

The ten beauties ran back to Concubine Wang's bedroom crying. They snuggled up to each other like frightened little birds.

"What should we do? What should we do? We might be sent to the cold palace and die there." A concubine cried with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of fear.

"I don't want it, wuwuwu..." Another concubine covered her face with her hands, tears slipping through her fingers.

Looking at a group of women crying, Haogu asked sternly, "What are you doing?" Her face was gloomy and her eyes were stern.

Concubine Wang and the others looked up in fear, and when they saw Haogu standing at the door, they swarmed over her as if they had found a life-saving straw.

"Sister, you have to stand up for us! The emperor has neglected us! You have to help us!" Concubine Wang grabbed Haogu's sleeve tightly, her eyes full of pleading.

"What happened while I was away?" Haogu's eyes swept across everyone's faces, trying to find the answer from their expressions.

Concubine Wang sobbed and told Haogu everything that happened when she was not in the palace. Haogu listened and reasoned in her heart: Ten concubines could not defeat Concubine Wan, which shows that Concubine Wan's methods are very clever. No, I have to find out where Concubine Wan came from! Who in the court supports her, and who are her family members. Thinking of this, Haogu's eyes became more determined, and she secretly vowed to uncover Concubine Wan's secrets and bring her down.

At this time, an atmosphere of sadness and fear permeated Concubine Wang's bedroom, and the palace maids all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Haogu looked at the crying concubines in front of her. Although she felt a little irritated, she suppressed her emotions and persuaded them, "Okay, don't cry. I will talk to the emperor. You stay in your own palace for the time being. Don't act rashly without the emperor's summons. Act according to my plan!"

Haogu's brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with determination and majesty.

"Okay, sister!" The concubines wiped their tears and sobbed in response. There was a hint of expectation and dependence in their eyes, as if the good aunt was their last straw.

Hao Fei turned and walked out, her steps hurried, her mind full of thoughts. As she walked, she thought: The investigation of Concubine Wan must start with the Emperor.

Or the person closest to Concubine Wan. But how easy is that? The emperor is now fascinated by Concubine Wan, and it is not easy to get information from him. And who among the people around Concubine Wan can be used by me? Haogu couldn't help but sigh slightly, with a trace of worry on her face.

At the same time, Concubine Wan sat in her own palace, thinking back to what had happened in the past few days, and fell into deep thought. She had not expected that her plan of using the dragon fetus would attract visits from the ministers. But for Sikong Yan's dream of becoming an emperor, she had to take the risk of giving him tea.

Concubine Wan's eyes became firm, and she thought to herself: For the future of my child, I must do this. Even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, even if it will arouse suspicion, I will not hesitate.

As long as she could preserve the dragon fetus and pave the way for Sikong Yan, it would be worth it no matter how much she paid. Thinking of this, a resolute look emerged on her face.

At this moment, the sunlight shone through the window onto Haogu, but it could not dispel the haze in her heart. She took a deep breath, quickened her pace, and walked towards the unknown front, her heart full of trepidation and determination.
